Dear Gogi,Can this USB dongle work with ordinary SIM to use 2G/3G data ? I am asking this because its written the dongle works with USIM for 4G, suppose I have a normal sim with 3G/EDGE connection. Can I use insert the normal SIM into USIM slot and get just the EDGE/2G/3G data connection.

The dongle supports multi-mode service, but I am not sure if the normal sim is compatible with USIM slot. Can you pls confirm this by experimenting or some way?

You just spoke just what i was going to type. You might know that airtel has a strategy of looting people. Really, who woudnt get frustrated, 50mbps for 6gb, and then the speed of a 20yr old internet. Heck, I have Vodafone netcruise, with 750 a month, You get 3.1mbps, till 6gb, the the speed reduces to 400kbps, which is still not bad dude, I'm getting good download speed in 400kbps also.

We have not even perfected our 3G services and we are launching 4G LTE, its nothing but a marketing gimmick. Whats the point of getting 40mbps or 100mbps when your limit is 6GB per month. Its like getting Buggati Veyron for Mumbai street roads, you just can't use it to its maximum potential until you have a true unlimited plan.
After exhaustion of 6GB the speed is 128kbps lmao! I mean seriously?!! 128kbps? at least they could have put it upto 512kbps. I still don't see any point in upgrading to 4G except for bragging rights. I hope the telecom companies understand that what people need is reasonable bandwidth cap with reasonable speed. I would always prefer unlimited data but that's not going to happen any time soon. Till then I am happy with my 2g and WiFi.
